Zibby is joined by playwright and Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Abi Morgan to discuss her heartbreaking debut This is Not a Pity Memoir, which tells the story of how her partner Jacob woke up from a coma and didn’t believe she was the real Abi. She shares intimate details of the harrowing experience–from the hospital visits to her constant battle with the delusion that fractured her relationship. She also explains the origin of her memorable title (it started as something else!) and hints at her story's most unexpected plot twist.
